The full story
Representatives of the Yellow Vests coordination announced a nationwide day of mobilization scheduled for October 31 to defend public liberties and protest against the government's perceived authoritarian drift. Speaking at a press conference in Paris, coordinators criticized what they called repression, lies, and a refusal to listen by the executive branch following the banning of numerous processions across France. The upcoming actions are planned to include rallies and sit-ins outside the National Assembly and French town halls. Organizers called for a united front bringing together students, workers, farmers, retirees, and other social groups, denouncing efforts by the government to divide them.
